Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies and the global shift toward online education have significantly influenced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching. This article presents a comparative analysis of online and face-to-face EFL instruction, focusing on effectiveness, learner engagement, teacher roles, assessment, and pedagogical challenges. Drawing on recent theoretical and empirical studies, the paper highlights the strengths and limitations of both modes and argues for a blended approach as a pedagogically sound alternative in contemporary EFL contexts.
